Its a shell of its former self, so not that hard to say good-bye - but still. End of an era - was a heck of a place when it was humming (anyone have any pics of that model they used to have of the whole campus with exit 57a? That was about a month before they realized they could outsource everything to ITC and canned the whole project, LOL).

@ Long Time CA'er I heard from some folks about the place too. Class B office space would be giving it too much justice.. I’m glad I work in a somewhat newer building but I’ve heard things ranging from “see thru” toilet paper to leaking windows. Sounds like they got a great deal on the space...But... ROTFL...
I said the following close to a year ago and I'm not surprised it came true.
"If Broadcom can get rid of the whole Islandia campus that would be good for them. There is plenty of Class A real estate suitable to hold 200 people in Hauppauge or Melville."
I feel sorry for those who thought it'd never happen, or not happen until 2021 when the lease was up.

@vicentefox et all', I also hope, being them based in Smell Ville, the smells are good. Kidding, good luck Islanders Friends
@vicente was on a video call with someone based in smellville and the cubicle heights are so low you can play ping pong. Apparently the desks are “motorized” so they can be raised...brilliant move...low wall heights...real privacy...#fail...
I remember the model sitting in the atrium. Good times.
From what I heard the new location is a sardine can...I’m sure they found the smallest space possible...
